Agile approaches to software development are a highly efficient form of project development and software delivery. While they challenge many conventional theories and preconceptions, agile methods are founded on practical observation of practices that work well for modern software development, and on the belief that the key to effective software development is the creation of an effective team environment. The key principles are to keep code simple, test often and deliver functional parts of the application as soon as they are ready.

Object has established an Agile Practice that is focused on keeping us at the forefront of this development approach. Our specialist knowledge and expertise has been developed through regularly using agile approaches to develop customer solutions and leveraging our extensive experience in developing and maintaining software development methodologies. We have been developing and maintaining our own world-class software development methodology, Process Mentor, for fifteen years.

We challenge the common belief that agile approaches are fundamentally unsuited to fixed-price software development projects, using our extensive application development experience to identify situations where agile practices can be used to overcome some of the challenges we face in our projects.

The insights and knowledge that we have developed will assist you in understanding and undertaking Agile development in order to maximise the use of your application development budget.
